What is lucide-react-dynamic-icons-and-lucide-lab?

A guide for using Lucide icons in React when icon names come from data or when you need icons outside the main Lucide set. It covers dynamic loading, Lucide Lab icons, and custom icon definitions.

Use it when building React interfaces with data-driven icon names, Lucide Lab icons, the Icon component, or custom icon nodes.

It helps you choose between normal imports, runtime loading, and custom icons without using the wrong approach. It also covers checking icon names received from a CMS or database before displaying them.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00089	$0.00801
Opus 5.5	$0.00036	$0.00320
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00018	$0.00160
Haiku 4.5	$0.00009	$0.00080

Security

Grade A, and why

lucide-react-dynamic-icons-and-lucide-lab scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Lucide React Dynamic Icons And Lucide Lab

Use this skill when the app cannot rely only on static named imports from lucide-react.

Scope

DynamicIcon and dynamic icon names
caveats of data-driven icon loading
@lucide/lab
the Icon component
custom iconNode data
choosing between direct imports, dynamic loading, and Lab/custom icons

Default path

Read references/dynamic-and-lab.md.
Ask whether the icon list is static or data-driven.
If the icon set is static, route back to lucide-react-overview-and-setup and use direct imports.
Use DynamicIcon only when icon names truly come from runtime data such as CMS entries or database rows.
Use Icon with @lucide/lab or custom icon nodes when the app needs icons outside the core Lucide package.

When to deviate

Keep the core package only when all icons are in the main Lucide set.
Use Icon plus @lucide/lab for non-core or custom nodes rather than forcing everything through DynamicIcon.
Validate or normalize icon names before render when they come from remote data.
Move back to the overview skill when the icon set turns out to be static after all.

Guardrails

DynamicIcon is not the default path; it increases build and delivery cost.
Expect SSR and loading-state considerations when icon names are resolved dynamically.
Keep runtime icon names validated or normalized instead of trusting arbitrary strings.
Use Icon for Lucide Lab or custom icon nodes, not DynamicIcon.
Treat @lucide/lab as an extension set, not the baseline icon dependency for every project.

Avoid

using DynamicIcon for a static set of known icons
trusting arbitrary runtime icon names without validation
treating @lucide/lab as a required dependency for normal app usage
using DynamicIcon when the real need is a Lab or custom icon node

Verification checklist

the icon set is confirmed to be static or runtime-driven
DynamicIcon is only used for real runtime-name scenarios
Lab or custom nodes use Icon, not DynamicIcon
remote icon names are validated or normalized
SSR and loading behavior are considered when icons load dynamically

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
